Listen! - EMP #sevendaysnewyorkcityinblackandwhite Reposted from @hccoleman - Posted @withrepost • @bk2lastudio // Black Rock Legends // Legends of Now Ft. @the1865band presented by BK2LA Studio x @punk.black. We asked bands to name a song from a Black Rock Legend that’s inspired them and why. Artist: Honeychild Coleman // @hccoleman Lead Vocals & Baritone Guitar Band: The 1865 Legend: ‪Bo Diddley‬ Song: Who Do You Love? (1956) When I was a kid growing up in Louisville, Kentucky, ‪Bo Diddley‬ was still very active on late night television as well as Dick Clark's Rockin' New Year's Eve. But I also had some of his records handed down from my parents. So much style, haunting sparse melodies, injected with a dose of wit and humor and he was a SHARP dresser! Really an innovator - there would be no surf guitar without Bo - and he had strong women playing in his band - Lady Bo (Peggy Jones) and The Duchess (Norma Jean Wofford). Later, as I got into collecting my own records and eventually picking up the guitar, I realized what a influence Diddley had on the guitar sounds of bands I loved like ‪The Jesus and Mary Chain‬ (who covered this song) and Bow Wow Wow. ‪Bo Diddley‬ rose above Jim Crow oppression, payola and music chart disparities, and still expressed pure joy in everything he created. 📸: @cp_krenkler Check out this song and more on our #BlackRockLegends playlist.

This is one of my favorite songs by my musical daddy. And also it's one of the songs that I would love to dance with a beautiful goddess under the moonlight and by the fountain while she's dressing so elegant and classy...sorry I'm a true romantic. #prince #mymusicaldaddy #whenweredancingcloseandslow #ripprince #classicrock #slowjam #quietstorm #universalblackrocker #romanticsong #badassblackrocker #blackrocker4life #blackrocklegend #kingblackrockerfrompittsburgh #kingblackrockerof2020s #wheresmycinderella (at Homestead, Pennsylvania)
